Music at the Monastery
Together with the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land, the AGO is proud to support a series of community outreach musical events on (usually) the second Sunday of each month from September to May at 4 p.m. The monastery is at 1400 Quincy St. NE.
Here is the 2024-25 lineup:

Located on 42 acres, the monastery is an architectural gem hidden in the northeast corner of Washington, D.C.
Dedicated in 1898, the church is in the shape of a Jerusalem Cross in neo-Byzantine architectural style. The church and extensive contemplative gardens include full-size replicas of shrines from the Holy Land (the Franciscans have ministered there for 800 years), plus catacombs and a Lourdes Grotto. The monastery also has two hermitages for personal retreats. The Monastery's Lively-Fulcher pipe organ was built in 1998 and contains 40 ranks of pipes over three manuals and pedal.
